Abstract

NON STRABISMIC BINOCULAR VISION ANOMALIES (NSBVAS) HAS BECOME A HIGHLY PREVALENT CONDITION IN THE RECENT YEARS. DIGITAL BOOM AND SUSTAINED NEAR ACTIVITIES HAS LED TO THE SURFACING OF A NUMBER OF ANOMALIES OF BINOCULAR VISION.

SYMPTOMS OF NSBVAS OFTEN OVERLAPS WITH COMMON OCULAR AND NON- OCULAR CONDITIONS, THUS MAKING THE DIAGNOSIS OF NSBVAS CHALLENGING. A KNOWLEDGE OF VARIOUS NSBVAS AND THE TESTS USED TO ASSESS BINOCULAR VISION ARE IMPERATIVE TO ITS DIAGNOSIS. THE CASE-BASED DISCUSSION WOULD ENUMERATE FINDINGS THAT CLINCH THE DIAGNOSIS & HIGHLIGHT TREATMENT OF VARIOUS NSBVAS.

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE OVERLAP BETWEEN THE AGE AT WHICH PATIENTS PRESENT WITH NSBVAS AND THOSE SEEKING REFRACTIVE SURGERIES. HENCE WE OFTEN COME ACROSS REFRACTIVE SURGERY PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH NSBVAS EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER REFRACTIVE SURGERY. A CASED BASED DISCUSSION ON ABOVE SCENARIOS EMPHASIZES THE NEED TO INCLUDE AN ORTHOPTIC WORK UP FOR ALL REFRACTIVE SURGERY PATIENTS.
